The new Motorola razr Fold will be the first phone in the US to support a new 5G Advanced technology called 6Rx, and T-Mobile will be the only US carrier to support this technology at launch. 6Rx enables up to 20% faster download speeds thanks to six separate radio antennas, instead of the usual two to four. Most modern phones leverage MIMO technology, where multiple antennas — at some physical distance from each other — can deliver better performance. Because of the need for physical distance, the size of modern smartphones limits how many antennas can usefully be included. But foldable phones like the razr Fold, when unfolded, offer enough physical area to include up to six antennas with enough physical distance from each other to improve performance via MIMO. In a forthcoming version of the 5G standard, 6Rx will be able to boost download speeds by up to 50% in some conditions. T-Mobile will start selling the razr Fold and the 2026 razr on May 28.
